It's Slow Going







Wow! I can't believe that it's already July! They say that as you get older time seems to go faster. Well that is definitely the case so far this summer. We have been so busy so far this summer that June just flew by. Now July 4th weekend is upon us and it will be another busy weekend. And just to think that we have only been to the beach once this summer.


I've had little time for designing and creating new pieces. I keep reminding myself that I have a huge show the beginning of September and that seems like it's a long way off but I know that it will be here before I know it. If I don't squeeze out some time this summer I'm going to be stressed to the max and feel unprepared!! Yikes! And as for my Etsy shop, well....I've let it fall to pot:( I hope to (must) get back on track mid July and August. Enough about my schedule and short comings...this bracelet and earrings is just about all that I have had time to finish in the last couple weeks. Who know when I'll get them on Etsy. It's hard to tell from the picture but the lampwork beads are a deep purple color.

Finally...Something New...Earrings



I'm lovin' these new earrings. The Aqua Swarovski Crystal Earrings look great! They would be a nice gift for someone with a March birthday, as aquamarine is March's birthstone, or perfect wedding jewelry. These earrings are nice and simple, inexpensive and have lots of bling because of the crystals. Also, all new for these earrings, I have used my new hoop earwires.

Passionate About Purple ~ Hand Forged Sterling Silver Stick Earrings

I'm wild about these earrings too!! I love the luster on the pearls, nice and shiny. Again, new earwires. But, I had the most fun pounding the wire to create the "sticks" in these earrings. I think that this is one of my new favorite things to do. You know...I can beat (take my aggression out) and create something so beautiful at the same time. Who knew! I'm really happy with the way these turned out after I oxidized them. The oxidation makes these earrings POP!!

Check 'em out in my Etsy shop. Go ahead and splurge...you'll love these too!!
